    Finally the Camaro comes into the shop. Yes I want to see this car worked on. The name Camaro means comrade or friend. It seems the automotive world has mislabeled camaro's, Firebirds, Cudas and challengers as muscle cars but in fact we're called pony cars. I'm looking forward to see you put your expertise to this build. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲

    After a garage fire & lost my '75 vette - Took the 15" X 8" rallies & put them on my '69 maro project CA car with factory air & Correct tinted window glass #'s that I purchased after the fire. Wheel idea may be "spilled milk" now. My Body guy Who done my vette before the fire totaled it, Did TWO '63 black Split Window vettes for the local Chevy dealership owner in Lansing.
    He looked at the New Quarters Welded to the Maro & said that "they did it right by hanging them on the trunk surround to avoid warping & not trying to splice them in lower below the surround. YMMV Dan. One thing about those plastic cars they Burn Fast & You'll never forget the smell of burning Fiberglass while waiting for the fire dept. to arrive. lol Happy New Year to You & Dani I'll be following along as usual. Thanks for ALL you two do to get these vids out for us.

    In high school a friend of mine "inherited" his dad's '67 6 cyl 3-on-the-tree Camaro.. Swapped in a 292 truck motor and a 4 spd. Good times and you can literally build them from the V.I.N. plate out.. Looking forward to this series, thanks Dan(& Dani). Blank canvas though, I think you should go nuts with this one! I hope it gets going before the weather shuts it down for winter!

    If you end up replacing the whole quarter you should lead in the seam like they did from the factory. It's actually pretty easy, I thought it was fun and it would make great content for your channel. The kit to do it is pretty cheap from Eastwood too!

    Right on. Been waiting for this one. I do prefer the early 2nd gen ones over these but it's still a cool car.
    I know I've been bugging you, so thnk you sir. Lol
    Running driving solid '67 is all day 20K+, and you're right about the price of parts after you actually get the car. Pretty cheap man.
    I was pricing out a complete floor and interior for a '71 I was thinking of buying and was blown away how cheap it was.
    Keep it as a stick. Automatic hotrods get boring real fast. Lol Also, I know you know cars but get the frame extensions (they're cheap) or build your own and make it full frame or she will twist.

  • @keithroute8906
    @keithroute8906 10 місяців тому +4

    Dan, another nice car, you scored. I liked what you said about doing rust repair correctly. Best advice is build it as if you plan to keep it. Then if you do, you will know it is right and confident in its safety and handling. If you sell it you will make big money on it. They sell for big money around here. To get big money around here it is best to have nice survivor type patina or good metal work, good body work and good paint. Whatever you do with it after the build, I hope you build it real cool.

This car is the best candidate for a big block chevy. Back in the day, my buddy had a 68 with a 396 and it was a very fun car to drive!

    That ones not rotted bad at all. I actually pulled my 67 RS convertible in half moving it out of a leaky shed it had been in for years..frame rails were basically non existent..Full quarters on yours was a good move and I'd considered going back with new frame rails if they're thin at all..and subframe connectors are a good idea if you're stuffing some horsepower in there, as I'm sure you already know.

  • @joelowery7300
    @joelowery7300 10 місяців тому +2

    The 67 suffers from real bad wheel hop. That's why they changed the shock mounts in 68. It helped but didn't stop it. Still needs better springs and slapper bars. I bet you can get a 4 link kit pretty cheap if you want to eliminate it completely.
    On another note first gen Camaro builds are pretty rare on UA-cam. At least among the people I watch. I'm looking forward to it and hope it helps grow your channel.

    I did the Detroit speed mini tub kit on my 68 last year. Their kit provides frame close outs because you actually cut into the rear rails. I have 15” from wheel tub to the outside of the wheel lip. I moved the leaf springs inboard a bit too because in the stock location you won’t be able to use all of the space with the mini tubs.

Light too , about half of the weight , & all of the horsepower . This will be a nice project car build , & it's a Chevy , your favorite !

    This should be an outstanding build ,start from scratch with a totally rusted out Camaro and wind up with a patched up, rusted to death driver. Sounds like a plan. And it really doesn't matter as it will be another video for your collection. Have at it. Did I mention Happy New Year?

    Morsky was saying you're a hack but you did a pretty nice job on the 55 Nomad wagon and this 67 Camaros probably going to turn out pretty good

    Dan a 275-60 -15 on a 8 inch 50-50 offset will fit good luck on the build.

    That looks almost exactly like my brother's Camaro. Same paint and dog dish hubcaps. Sure do miss it.

    Looks like you are off to a great running start. I have total confidence in you and I know you have a plan and have thought this whole thing out sort of put it well be fine. I know I’m going to love watching your videos on this project can’t wait. I do remember the 66 Biscayne when you pulled the big block out and said you might rebuild it and put it in a Camaro remember that, could this be the one. Later

      Oh no, not the dog dishes again! You poor, poor Canadian boy! What did they do to you growing up? Cragars! Cragars! Cragars!
